In this video I’m basically talking through that super weird, kinda scary question a lot of skaters hit at some point: “Do I actually want to quit skateboarding?” I break down what burnout has looked like for me, how it sneaks up when skating starts feeling like pressure instead of something I’m hyped on, and the difference between actually quitting vs taking a real extended break. I’m not trying to be dramatic—I just want people to be honest about where they’re at, because forcing it usually makes it worse. I also share a few mindset takeaways I picked up from Andrew Huberman and the Nine Club episode—stuff around motivation, recovery, and why sometimes the best move is stepping back so you can come back stronger. The main point is: if skating is making you miserable, it doesn’t mean you’re “not a skater.” It might just mean you need to reset your relationship with it, change the way you’re training, or give yourself permission to breathe. I want this one to help anyone who’s stuck in that loop of guilt, frustration, and feeling behind on progress.
